மின்சாரம் என்
மீது பாய்கின்றதே
Electricity surges through me...
உன் கண்கள்
என் கண்ணை
மேய்கின்றதே
Your eyes gaze into my eyes...
உன் வார்த்தை
என் பாஷை ஆகின்றதே
Your words become my language...
உள்நெஞ்சில்
மின்னல் பூ பூக்கின்றதே
A lightning flower blooms inside my heart...
நீ உத்தரவிட்டால்
முத்தம் தருவேன் உதடுகள்
வேர்க்கும்வரை உண்மையில்
நானும் யோக்கியன்தானடி
உன்னைப் பார்க்கும்வரை
If you give permission, I will give you a kiss
Until our lips sweat
In truth, I was a saintly man, my dear
Until I saw you
காதல் ஸியே ஓ
காதல் ஸியே ஓ காதல்
ஸியே காதல் ஸியே
Oh, do love... oh, do love...
Oh, do love... do love...
மின்சாரம் என்
மீது பாய்கின்றதே
Electricity surges through me
உன் கண்கள்
என் கண்ணை
மேய்கின்றதே
Your eyes gaze into my eyes
உன் வார்த்தை
என் பாஷை ஆகின்றதே
Your words become my language
உள்நெஞ்சில்
மின்னல் பூ பூக்கின்றதே
A lightning flower blooms inside my heart
...............................
என்னைவிட இந்த
உலகிலே உன்னை மிகமிக
விரும்பினேன்
More than myself in this world
I loved you so very much
உந்தன் அன்பு
தரும் சுகத்தினால்
இன்னும் உயிருடன்
இருக்கிறேன்
Because of the bliss your love bestows
I am still alive today
ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம்
ஹ்ம்ம் தீ கூட தின்னத்
தின்ன தித்திக்கும் என்று
கண்டேன் அன்பே நீ பக்கம்
வந்தால் புத்திக்கு ஓய்வு
தந்தேன்
Hmm hmm hmm, even fire, as I consume it more and more
I found that it tastes sweet
My love, when you come near, I gave rest to my mind
பெண் என்றால்
மென்மை என்று கவிதைகள்
சொல்லி வந்தேன் உன்னை
நான் பார்த்த பின்தான்
கன்னத்தில் போட்டுக்கொண்டேன்
That womanhood means gentleness
Poems used to recite
After I saw you
I slapped myself on the cheek
காதல் ஸியே ஓ
காதல் ஸியே ஓ காதல்
ஸியே காதல் ஸியே
Oh, do love... oh, do love...
Oh, do love... do love...
...............................
மெல்ல மெல்ல
எந்தன் உயிரினை மென்று
தின்று இன்று சிரிக்கிறாய்
Slowly, slowly, my life force
You chew, devour, and smile today
கொள்ளை அடித்தது
நீயடி என்னைக் குற்றம்
சொல்லித் திரிகிறாய்
You are the one who looted me, my girl
Yet you go around blaming me
ஆஹாஹா
பொல்லாத இம்சை
ஒன்றில் புரியாமல்
மாட்டிகொண்டேன்
இம்சைக்கு இன்னொரு
பேர் காதல்தான் என்று
கண்டேன்
Ah, in a wicked sweet torment
I got trapped without understanding
I realized that love is just another name for torment
அன்பே நீ
அருகே வந்தால்
என் உலகம் சுருங்கக்
கண்டேன் ஒரு கோப்பை
தண்ணீர் காதல் அதில்
நீந்தக் கற்றுக்கொண்டேன்
My love, when you come near
I saw my entire world shrink
Love is like a cup of water
And I learned to swim in it
காதல் ஸியே ஓ
காதல் ஸியே ஓ காதல்
ஸியே காதல் ஸியே
Oh, do love... oh, do love...
Oh, do love... do love...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This classic Tamil romantic song expresses the intoxicating power of love and how it completely transforms a person's reality. The protagonist describes how love feels like a sudden electric current running through the body, turning a once-disciplined person into an ardent lover. The lyrics play with themes of sweet torment, surreal emotions, and passionate devotion where every moment spent with the beloved alters perception.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Oru koppai thanneer kaadhal / Adhil neendha katru konden”
Comparing love to a small cup of water in which the lover learns to swim conveys the boundless depth found in intimacy.
Paradox / Oxymoron
“Thee kooda thinna thinna thithikum endru kanden”
Describing fire as something sweet to consume illustrates how love turns painful or dangerous sensations into sweet joy.
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navirtchi)
“Udhadugal verkum varai”
Kissing until lips sweat exaggerates physical passion to highlight intense affection.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Minsaaram en meedhu paaigindradhae / Un kangal en kannai meygindradhae”
The repeating '-gindradhae' ending across consecutive lines builds rhythmic consistency and poetic flow.
